And the species is so common in captivity anyway............. So easy to
see.......... To the extent that it would be watched on a twitch, do we
really learn that much more useful, to contribute to its welfare? Or in
a case like this, why not fund just one or two people to go there and
study it, rather than so many spending all that money. Sure I would like
to go there and see that bird and others in the region. But I question
are we just a little bit odd to think that seeing it ourselves, rather
than just being happy to know it exists, is so important to justify
going to such lengths and creating the energy consumption to get there.
